Both the wind turbine nacelles and blades for the Courseulles-sur-Mer project are scheduled to be produced at the Siemens Gamesa facility currently under construction in Le Havre. “We are delighted to again be the partner of choice for EDF Renewables, Enbridge, and wpd, and to deliver our second firm French offshore order…

Faurecia and Groupe Renault have collaborated on hydrogen storage systems for hydrogen light commercial vehicles. Starting at the end of 2021, Faurecia will supply hydrogen storage systems for a first fleet of light commercial vehicles. These systems will be developed and produced at its global center of expertise in Bavans, France. As volumes, increase production will be extended to a new plant dedicated to hydrogen storage systems that Faurecia is building in Allenjoie, France. “This partnership is an important illustration of our common vision for expanding the use of hydrogen as a cornerstone of the energy transition and as a…

The EDP Group has launched two units that will exploit the potential of green hydrogen and energy storage systems. The H2 Business Unit (H2BU) will be the group’s new arm for the development of green hydrogen projects, while the dedicated storage unit, built in EDPR NA, will aim to achieve a storage capacity of 1 GW within five years. With the creation of the new business unit, EDP aims to strengthen the integration of green hydrogen into the group’s portfolio in a strategic and cross-cutting way and promote investment in renewable. H2BU will be led by Ana Quelhas, director of…

Aker Clean Hydrogen, Tinn Municipality and Rjukan Næringsutvikling have signed an agreement for development of a hydrogen factory in Rjukan. The project will use access to hydropower locally to develop a hydrogen project with low life cycle costs (Levelized Cost of Hydrogen). The plant will have a capacity of 50 to 80 megawatts and produce green hydrogen for local marine transport such as passenger ferries in Eastern Norway. Aker Clean Hydrogen will develop and own the planned plant, and may invite other partners to join as co-owners later. Tinn municipality and Rjukan Næringsutvikling will contribute to the project, among other…
